Freezing Tea
    #4995907 - 11/29/05 07:50 PM (18 years, 3 months ago)

I spent a good while researching this, and haven't found any really solid evidence that mushroom tea is ok to freeze. By the looks of it, I'm going to have to leave town for a couple weeks almost at the same time my harvest is due. I was thinking maybe I would have time to make a huge batch of tea and store it in the freezer.

Has anyone ever tried this? Potency loss? Dry or fresh? Did you strain the mushrooms out or leave them in?

Any other recommendations for storing mushrooms for a long period of time would be great as well.

Preserve the tea in alcohol. When you heat up the tea again the alcohol will evaporate. I have done this and it seems that it doesnt loose (much) potency. I dont know about freezing, sorry.

i don't see any reason why you couldn't freeze tea without any ill effects. I mean, I keep my shrooms in the freezer all the time...

I frooze some leftover mushroom tea once. Had it again a few months later, and it still did the trick.

How much alcohol do I put in? What kind?

I can't dry them out because I literally won't have time. Unless I can dry them out in a few hours, I'm going to have to bolt as soon as I harvest. If I can make a tea with the fresh mushrooms and freeze it, that would be perfect.

Why freeze the tea? just bottle the tea up and leave it at room temp and it should be fine. i filled 2 big pop bottles with tea/lemonade and slowly sold/drank over a month and it was great:)

What about just cutting up the shrooms into tiny bits, boiling in water with lemon juice and then pouring into ice cube trays?

Go right ahead, man. The tea will be fine. If you will have a large harvest, I'd say that one large container of tea might not be ideal. For example, instead of using like a 2-liter bottle, use several 20 oz. soda bottles to store a large quantity of tea. That way you can just thaw out what you need when you need it and not disturb the rest.

Yeah, thats why I froze my tea - I had mixed in some sugar, lemon, etc with it while making it.

At the end of the night, we still had a rather big pot of it left over - was a few days sitting in the fridge, not having time to trip anytime soon and not wanting to waste the mushrooms that were in it (Pot started out with maybe, ~15g of mush, with only a cup or two gone from it) - so tossed it into the freezer to save for a later day.

Few weeks later, I decided to trip - dethawed some of it, started to drink it then realized "shit, I have a bunch of errands to do", stopped drinking it (drank far less than a cup worth, maybe, 1/4th a cup) - re-froze it, that trip ended up being a rather nice one - more intense then I had planned on, but still enjoyable (like, level 1/2 trip).

Dethawed it again a week later, drank a bunch - and still tripped off of it.

So yes, you can freeze tea - I've tried it 1st hand, and it works.
I'd let it dethaw "naturally" when you get around to drinking it though and not microwaving it.
